Does anyone know how this will work or should I just take the Metro Rail into Campus?
Thanks in advance for info.

It's a Saturday morning so the campus parking garage on Ponce should be mostly empty - decent walk from there to the UC but you will definitely have a parking spot. Across the street from the Ponce garage there is public parking under the Metrorail - easy backup if the garage is somehow closed.
On the back side of campus there is a lot of parking near Memorial building and the Physics building that shouldn't have any cars in them.
Again, because it's a Saturday, I don't think parking will be an issue unless you are trying park in the middle of campus.

Does anyone know where Gameday will be taking place? I haven't been inside campus in a couple of years so my memory is a little bad. I will be going with the family and want to plan ahead.
I am assuming it will be The Rock in the middle of campus where The U statue is near the library. There is a lot of grass behind that area and easy for them to bring in the set with the traffic circle right there.
I'd personally take Metrorail if at all possible. Parking is never easy these days, and Gameday will make it a zoo.
Ponce Middle School is a good option too.
Also, someone please make a Jerry Faust fathead.
I just called Customer Service.. they haven't announced officially but she said they think it will be by the Student Center and the Fountain.
she said they don't tow on the weekends so all parking is fair game
